I was really disappointed with VMware from a local internet-based
software seller. I selected an image of the product in a box - shown off
center to really give the 3-D effect of a real box. It implied I would
get such a thing. Instead, I only got an electronic license. Nothing I
could touch. And it was for a bit cost more than the VMware listed price
for the boxed package, which includes a 500 page printed manual. It was
the main thing I was after in the first place. I am all for saving
paper. Instead, I will surely waste more resources printing a copy
locally.
